Hi Hai,

>>you can check examples from ipywidgets: 
https://github.com/ipython/ipywidgets/tree/master/docs/source/examples

Thanks for responding. I tried the 'File Upload WIdget' example mentioned 
here. Unfortunately an html5/js based file-browser would still not give me 
the relative path or absolute path of the selected file. I don't want to 
load the file. I just need to get the path of the select the file. 


I also tried the file-browser example mentioned in 
https://github.com/jupyter-attic/jupyter-js-ui 
. <https://github.com/jupyter-attic/jupyter-js-ui>
I did the  'npm build' commands, and 'cd'-ed to the 'examples/filebrowser' 
directory, and did 'python main.py'
<https://github.com/jupyter-attic/jupyter-js-ui>I am able to get the files 
listed in a web-page as shown below.




 
*But I want to show them in a pop-up window*
-thanks
